Two of India's best fast bowlers Ishant Sharma and Praveen Kumar on the tour sustained injuries in a collision while playing football giving the Indian team some nervous moments ahead of the third Test at Dominica.

Ishant sustained a bruise beneath his right eye after colliding with Praveen and was escorted back to the dressing room by his teammates

The other worry for the Indian team is that Praveen was also seen holding his head after the collision and was seen leaving the field for treatment.

Ishant has been India's most successful bowler so far in the ongoing Test series and also won the man-of-the-match for his performance in the second Test at Barbados where he claimed a 10-wicket haul.

However, Rahul Dravid did not give any heed to the incident saying the injury is a minor one and will be healed before the match starts.

"It's just a small bruise but it is not very serious. So it should be okay. I think it's a small cut underneath the eye," Dravid stated when asked about the Ishant's injury.

It is expected that the home team will test their visitors by providing a pacy and bouncy pitch at the Windsor Park Stadium for the match starting Wednesday.

Despite facing difficulty in preparing the surface due to persistent showers in the past few days, the pitch curator at the venue has assured a bouncy pitch that should help those who are ready to bend their back.

But the hosts will also be wary of India's pace brigade which has done a fine job in the first two matches of the series.
